A Creole Dish.

No cook in the world, says a New

crat in her department; no one but she
can make. as ought to be made, that
Creole dish par excellence, the gumbo, in
all its varieties. This dainty dish to set
before the king" the inspiration of some
Creole epicure of the past, deserves a
wider gastronomic reputation than it now
has. MARK Antony would have bar
tered g province to have gained repast
of gumbo file for Cleopatra" an enthusi-
astic gourmet once said, ''for did he not
bestow whole naunicipiiIn on a cook

Apicius" heads a receipt for this most
toothscme compound 1t is thick soup
whose basis is chicken and beef broth,

All, but the way it is cooked. Therein
lies the secret of its perfection. The file
is fine powder made from the dried
leaves of the red sassafras, and its use
was laugh to the carly Creoles by the In
dams. The Indian sqnaws still have a
monopoly of the trade in file, which they
bring in large baskets of their own make
to the French market, where they squat
on the tagged pavement and sell file by
ladlefuls to costumers. Grab gumbo Is
another of the many varieties of the ex-
cellent dish.

Mnat Becomes Of beers Horns, ,

Mr.. A. S. Fuller, the well-known au-
thor, writes in the american Agriculturist.
"What becomes Of deer horns7 is often
asked of persons residing in regions
where deer are plentiful, but it is rarely
satisfactorily answered. That the horns
are shed annually, there are no reasons
for doubling, for 1t is a well established
fact; but that the horns are rarely found
is also quite as true, as stated by Mr..
Yoder in the american Agriculturist for
February l well remember looking for
shed deer horns, many years ago, in the
woods of Wisconsin, and during one of
these rambles, extending over only few
hours, Isaw fifty-sevcn very lively deer,
some, with very handsome antlers, but
failed TO find a vestige of an old horn.
Upon inquiring of old hunters, who were
supposed to know all about the habits of
dropped a horn he Immediately dug a
hole in the ground and buried it out of
sight. Upon further investigation, how
ever, was unable to find person who
ever saw deer performing the operation,
or one who ever found horn that had
been buried by its owner or any other
similar animal. But in late years have
had several opportunities to learn where
some of the naturally shed deer horns go
to, if not all of them. The deer shed
their horns in spring, and they no sooner
fall to the ground than the wood mice
attack them, and they disappear before
the teeth Of these little rodents so quick
ly that few weeks are sufficient to OBJ
literatc every vcstige Of the noblest pair
of antlers. Even the squirrels like to gnaw
the deer horns and fresh bones of various
kinds, and it is this natural or depraved
taste that make our common red squirrels
rob birds nests when the young are near
ly full grown; for so far as l have OBJ
served, they devour the feet and legs Of
the birds only. have frequently made
them drop the young birds they were
slowly torturing, and have always found
that they were eating the feet and legs,
perhaps because these parts had a nutty
flavor"

lnclaents at Fredericksburg.

Concerning incidents of the battle Of
Fredericksburg, Private Smith of the
Second Wisconsin thus writes: A round
shot ripped open soldiers knapsack and
distributed his clothing and cards. But
the boys could not forego their little joke !;
so when that column Of cards was thrown
some twenty feet in the air, on all sides
could be heard the cry: "Oh, deal me a
handl" Other shots in that battle did
queer work. Our brigade came to halt
upon the river bank for a few moments
before going into position. We had been
paid off that day, and the gamblers began
to play at cards the moment we halted.
A man who was about to "straddle" a
'50-cent blind" had his knapsack
knocked from under him by solid shot,
and he ''straddled" half dozen soldiers
who were covered with a cart-load Of
dirt. Another shot struck paymaster's
tent. The struggle between that paymas-
ter and the stragglers for possession of
the flying grecnbacks was both exciting
and ridiculous. During moments halt,
behind slight rise of ground, we lay
down. A soldier facing to the rear was
convsrsing with comrade. Suddenly
he made a terrific leap in the air, and
from the spot of ground on which he had
been sitting solid shot scooped wheel
barrow load of dirt. 1t was clear case
of premonition, for the man could give
no reason for having jumped. On the
evening of December IA our regiment
was on picket duty. We had not been
in picket line more than twenty minutes
before we made bargain with the
"Rebs" and the firing ceased, and neither
they nor ourselves pretended to keep
under cover. But, at daylight, the
Twenty-fourth Michigan came to relieve
us. Before they were fairly in line they
opened fire upon the Confederate without
the warning we had agreed to give. We
yelled Justify, but the rattle of musketry
drowned the sound, and many confding
enemy was hit. This irritated the Con-
federates, who opened savage fire, and
it was with difficulty general engage
ment was prevented. All that day, until
about o'clock, the picket firing was in
tense, but was abruptly ended by Con-
federate challenging Sixth Wisconsin
man to fist encounter in the middle of
the turnpike. The combatants got the
attention of both picket lines, who de-
clared the fight ''draw." They ended
the matter with coffee and tobacco
trade, and an agreement to do no more
firing at picket lines unless an advance
was ordered. - Century.

At Sedan there was truce before the
final surrender. General Wimpffen, who
was in command Of the French troops,
wanted favorable terms; but, like Gen
eral Grant at Fort Donelson, the Germans
insisted upon an unconditional surrender.

the reply.

THE VILLAGE osAcLE,

Beneath the weather-bcaSen porch
That shades the village store,
He sits at case, an aged man
OF threescore years and more;
That ample scat for him is placed
Beside the open door.
His face Is very keen and shrewd,
And piercing are his eyes,
As with an air Of prophecy
He scans the cloudy skies;
And children look with awe on him,
For he is weather-wise.
And jolly farmers riding by
On loads of fragrant hay,
Call out: "Good morning, Uncle Dave"
And "Will it rain to-day1'
While boys who would a-iishing go,
Await what he win say.

But he is very slow and calm,
For thus should prophets beJ

lawyer of eminent ability who is neither
a secessionist in principle nor an apollo
gist for treason.
An Ohio View.

Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, who is supporter
of Senator Sherman for the presiden-
tial nomination next year, has been in
New York and looked over the polit-
ical situation. He gives his impress
sions as follows: "The mugwumps
have rushed in to say that the result in
New York the other day makes an
end of Mr.. Blaine for the presidency,
but that is nonsense. There is moth
ing to indicate weakness on the part
of Mr.. Blaine and nothing to show the
superior strength of any other candi-
date. The fact that Senator Sherman
has never had the recognition in New
York that his extraordinary talents and
services should have commanded is one
of the discouragements. Here, more
than anywhere else, the man who re-
sumed should have popularity far in
excess of all personal sentimentalism.
But the average New York republican
goes slowly in understanding merit be-
yond the mountains. The attitude of
the mugwumps toward Mr.. Sherman is
still more contemplate than that
toward Mr.. Blaine. They avowedly
make personal warfare upon Mr..
Blaine, but they oppose Sherman with
equal mendacity. 1t has not been said
in the New York Times, the Evening
Post or Harper's Weekly that Mr..
Sherman should be supported as
against Mr.. Cleveland. The meaning
of this is that the mugwumps have
landed in the democratic party. They
entered the rapids three years ago with
the purpose, as they asserted, of doing
what they could with the democratic
party as an agency of reform, and they
have shot Niagara and are declaring,
with the old copperheads, that the
highest duty of patriotism is patient
submission to the solid South-submis-
sion to the notification of the war
amendments of the Constitution, sub
mission to the exclusion of Dakota,
submission TO the consolidated section

Troy Weekly Times.

Our club arrangement, published else
where in this paper, includes the Troy
Weekly Times, a high-class republican news
paper, which has the largest circulation of
any paper in the state of New York outside
New York city. 1t leads not only in circu-
lation, but also in merit. Nothing that en-
terprise will suggest is left undone in gath
ering news, and the utmost care is taken in
preparing and publishing it. The Weekly
Times has the news of the world condensed
to just the readable limit. 1t has corre-
spondence from national and state capitals
and special writers in various centers of the
world and of this country entertainngly
present the features Of national and social
progress. Prominent among the CORE
spondents is "The Hermit of New York"
whose letters from the American metropolis
have reached wide fame There is an army
of local correspondents. The Weekly Times
excels in interest to the farmer. Agricul-
tural facts for farm and garden, household
hints for parlor dairy and kitchen, and
suggestions as to improved methods in till
ing the soil and handling its products are
marked characteristics of the Weekly Times
The market reports are very extensive.
Then there are gossipy gleanings, business
intelligence and carefully-selected mis-
cellany for reading in the domestic circle.
The opportunity to get the WATcHMAN and
such paper as the Troy Weekly Times one
year for $500 is certainly rare one.
